Hi, my roomate and I have thought up a huge challenge, and I need your input on whether or not we will permanently be injuring our bodies.
First off, I am 19, he is 18, and we are both running the Detroit marathon in 3 weeks time. We have been training a lot for it and are in fairly good running shape. The idea we have come up with is to run home from our school 2 weekends after the marathon. It is approximatley 113 miles from our college to my house. Right now I figure 2 weeks will be a good recovery time after the marathon, and if we run 9 minute pace it will take us approximatley 17.5 hours to run the 113 miles.
My question is whether or not you think we will be seriously hurting our bodies. I am competing in Ironman Wisconson next year and hope to be in Hawaii in 2007; will this effect my performance next year?
S.T. probably isn't the place to ask about this, but I'm just curious as to what you guys think. I am also going to talk to my chiropracter and get his input.
Thanks.
